Make the Cake

Cup of Yum
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a loaf pan with nonstick baking spray, and set aside. You may also line it with parchment paper to help lift the cake out of the pan.
2. Combine the slightly cooled butter and sugar in a medium bowl. Whisk until combined and smooth.
3. Crack the eggs into a smaller dish, then add them into the butter/sugar mixture. Measure in the vanilla extract and give them a stir.
4. Pour in the Irish Cream and stir to combine.
5. Combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder and kosher salt in a separate bowl. Whisk to combine.
6. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until the batter begins to come together.
7. Add the chocolate chips to the batter, and stir until just combined.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, and transfer to the preheated oven.
9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
10. Remove from the oven, and allow ample time to cool before glazing.

Make the Glaze

1. While the pound cake cools, measure the powdered sugar into a smaller bowl.
2. Season with a pinch of salt, then pour in the Irish Cream.
3. Whisk (or whip together using a hand mixer) until smooth, and set aside.

Decorate the Cake

1. When the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the glaze over it.
2. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings, green sprinkling sugar or sprinkles.
3. Cut into slices, and enjoy!
